SOURCES OF THE RIVER: Tracking David Thompson Across Western North America
By Jack Nisbet

Portland Oregonian:

There are times when tracking the early British explorer, Nisbet seems to cross [David] Thompson's path through time. A lively narrative and an important addition to the growing history of the region.

Murray Morgan, author of PUGET'S SOUND:

Jack Nisbet tells Thompson's story superbly ... SOURCES OF THE RIVER goes immediately onto my short shelf of best books about the Pacific Northwest.

Peter C. Newman, author of COMPANY OF ADVENTURERS:

This is an important chronicle of the continent's most significant and literate explorer.

David Buerge, Northwest writer and historian:

Nisbet's writing, his treatment of his subject, and his sensitivity are masterful. I am deeply impressed.
